OVERVIEW: ALCATRAZ GIRL (2) is a speedy beginner who got things wrong here last time out and had to drift back to last before finishing close enough under the circumstances. She gets appealing conditions over the short trip to potentially find the front and take plenty of catching if she can secure that position.

SALSBOY (1) is a veteran who comes up with a great draw to map perfectly, like his most recent placing four runs back when he lobbed behind the leader at Bendigo. He can improve sharply on his numerical form. OLLY ODD POTTS (9) tends to hit a purple patch of form and then go out of it, as her history would suggest, but assessing her on her past two wins, she must be considered. She gets a junior claim to stay in a winnable race. QUEENHIGH FLUSH (10) is going well this season, and she's a mare who likes to come with one run, so if the tempo is genuine enough, she can be strong late. OHHEMJAY CRESCO (4) will find this easier than last time and can also be considered on an each-way basis.
